Re: First impressions: strange groff default font behaviour after system upgrade

[Oliver Corff]

Hi Alexis,

thank your for the quick pointer! I was totally unaware of that system.

And, in addition, I wonder why evince and okular attempt start as root,
id -a shows that I am in my non-privileged group, working in my regular
shell.

Still wondering *why* the viewers want to connect to a socket at /root/,
and how fix that.

Best regards,

Oliver.
